Welcome Aboard!
We are a family of four living full time on a Leopard 46 named FEARLESS. Our journey officially began on July 31, 2019 when we closed the purchase of our boat. We spent the first year adjusting to life aboard, and are now in our second year of cruising. As a military family, we are no strangers to big upheavals in our lives, but making this vision a reality forced us to pull from all of our collective experiences, and trust in each other that we could make the dream a reality. We named our boat Fearless as a reminder to keep pushing through those moments when fear and doubt creep to the forefront. Life is short, and it is meant to be lived. There will come a day when we are no longer able to seek adventure, but not yet…
Life is beautiful, and this planet is beautiful. We wanted to show our children the ocean while it is still alive. We also wanted them to see what impact mankind is having it. Life is fragile in the deep blue, and we are humbled by its power, awed by its complexity, and thankful for the opportunity to live in and on it.

On April 17, 2021, Fearless and Crew made the northbound transit through the Panama Canal back to Shelter Bay. This time it was a one-day event, and once again we made it through unscathed! Winning!
We completed our Panama Canal transit on February 1, 2021. Fearless motored at 7.5kts at 2,000RPM/side across Gatun Lake, through the Culebra Cut, and into the Pedro Miguel and Mira Flores Locks. Overall, it was an uneventful and smooth evolution, although we did lose one of our fenders in the Mira Flores Lake.
On December 10, 2020 we were on the downhill run into Colon, Panama when our starboard rod went off around 0900. I casually walked over to it because the line was leaving at a pace that suggested a big fish. Sure enough, I saw a billfish jump. We had mismanaged big fish before and lost them, so I played this one with a little more patience.
Leave it to Lexi to befriend a marauding herd of Panamanian raccoons. They woke Andi up at 0400 our first night in La Playita when they snuck onto Fearless and made off with bread and oranges after tossing our garbage can. Still, it’s hard to hold a grudge against something so cute.
